Natural Stone Cleaning
Natural Stone Cleaning
Natural stone floors, such as marble, granite, limestone, and travertine, add a luxurious and timeless appeal to any space. These materials are known for their beauty and durability, but they also require special care to maintain their pristine condition. Over time, dirt, dust, and spills can cause discoloration, staining, or damage to the stone’s surface. Professional natural stone cleaning is essential to preserving the integrity and appearance of your floors, keeping them looking elegant for years to come.
At Carpet & Duct Cleaning, we specialize in cleaning all types of natural stone surfaces. Our experts understand the unique needs of different stones and use specialized, non-abrasive cleaning methods to safely remove dirt, stains, and grime. We ensure that the natural beauty of your stone floors is preserved, without causing any harm to the surface or finish. Whether you have a marble countertop or a travertine tile floor, we tailor our cleaning techniques to suit the specific type of stone.
One of the main challenges of cleaning natural stone is the risk of damaging the surface with harsh chemicals or improper cleaning methods. Many common cleaning products can dull the finish or etch the stone. Our team uses stone-safe, eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are designed to lift dirt without affecting the stone’s surface. This gentle approach helps maintain the shine and color of the stone, while also ensuring a deep clean that removes built-up grime and residues.
In addition to routine cleaning, natural stone surfaces may require periodic sealing to prevent staining and maintain their durability. We offer professional stone sealing services that create a protective layer over the surface, guarding against spills and contaminants. Sealing your stone helps reduce the absorption of liquids, making it easier to clean and maintain. Our team will assess the condition of your stone and recommend the best sealing solutions to keep your floors in optimal condition.
Regular cleaning and maintenance of natural stone surfaces not only enhances their beauty but also extends their lifespan. Proper care can prevent costly repairs and preserve the investment you’ve made in your flooring. At Carpet & Duct Cleaning, we are committed to providing expert natural stone cleaning services that restore and protect the elegance of your stone surfaces. Whether you need a routine cleaning or specialized stain removal, we are here to keep your stone floors looking flawless.
FAQs
For routine cleaning, use a pH-neutral cleaner or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent mixed with warm water. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the stone's surface. Apply the solution with a soft cloth or sponge, rinse thoroughly with clean water, and dry with a soft towel to prevent water spots.

To address stains, first blot the area immediately to absorb any excess liquid. For oil-based stains, create a poultice by mixing baking soda with water to form a paste, apply it to the stain, cover with plastic wrap, and let it sit for 24 hours before removing. For organic stains, hydrogen peroxide can be used. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure the method doesn't damage the stone.
